Sequoia Park Zoo

The skywalk is amazing and the bears were active. The barnyard was fun to walk through as well. Overall, it is a great small zoo.

I love this zoo so much. It's the perfect size - I can see everything or just what I want each time (Psst: the annual pass is the way to go if you live in the area and an even better deal if you're a wise senior like myself!)
The walkway is a great way you can get a bird's eye view of the zoo's inhabitants.

Great place to go when you have a couple hours to spare. It's not the biggest zoo, but they have a petting area and they have the Redwood Sky Walk. The Sky Walk is unique and it takes you up high amongst the trees. Not the best place to go if you're afraid of heights, but you get a great view of the surrounding area.

Whenever I visit a new city, I love to check out their local zoo or aquarium. Mostly because I am an animal lover and it makes for a nice relaxing day after a long flight or drive. Sequoia Park Zoo isn't very large, but still has a variety of species on hand (over 50). This was my first visit to Eureka and the first attraction I visited after I landed.

Sequoia Park Zoo was established in 1907 and is California's oldest zoo. While here I saw spider monkeys, flamingos, snakes, red pandas, and river otters. I really enjoyed walking through the free-flight aviary where they had a number of colorful birds hanging out. They also have a barnyard area where you can pet and interact with many of the animals. The kids that I observed there were really enjoying themselves. My favorite animal in the barnyard was the domestic pig and the grunts that he was making.

I love how this zoo incorporates the coast redwood forest. My favorite part of the day was walking on the Redwood Sky Walk. There was so much to explore there. The Sky Walk is the longest sky walk in the western United States at a quarter of a mile to the end and back. It is 100 feet above the ground and allows you to get up and close to the redwood trees.

Overall, I had a nice afternoon walking around here. I felt the admission price was reasonable. There is a gift shop and a cafe on hand for food. Sequoia Park Zoo also offers an annual membership that includes discounts and invitations to special events.

Very highly rated zoo. They have many personalized experiences and are constantly innovating to make it easier to see things in nature which are difficult for the public to access

1) spider monkeys. See how loud and powerful they can be.
2) bald eagles. This is the closest you can get to one for a photo. Stunning bird.
3) steelhead in running creek exhibit. They try to stock fish spawning Might be better to see them in headwaters park but have to hike during the right time of year to see salmon spawning.
4) red panda. they like cold. lethargic in summer months.
5) farm animals. Can go into pen and brush the goat and sheep hair. Gets tangled easily like long hair cats.
6) canopy walk: better than the tourist trap canopies.
7) bears and coyotes coming this spring.

We stopped by the zoo specifically for the redwood walkway but were delighted with the zoo itself. Perfect for kids, with lots of activities and interactive things. The redwood walkway was really fun. The kids loved going around and around in circles. The views were beautiful, and you could see the new bear exhibit from the end. We were excited to get a sneak peek at the cubs playing at the rear of the exhibit.

They have a fun barn exhibit with saddles to climb on and interactive learning experiences. A little playground and petting zoo are well maintained, with staff there to ensure animal safety. Throughout the zoo, there are fun activities to do. Our girls loved the giant bald eagle nest, and being so close to the birds was truly exciting!

Not far down the road is a giant park with walking trails that go behind the zoo for more exploration. I was very surprised that our family was able to spend hours and hours there. I never expected that such a small zoo would be such a delight to the kids!

Fairly small zoo but it's family friendly and adorable. Make sure to check their website regarding ticket sales, there are a few ways to get discounts if you qualify.
The skywalk is a must see

I love to go to the zoo. But not on Sunday. I don't like to see the people making fun of the animals, when it should be the other way around -- Ernest Hemingway

This is a zoo on its way up! It has the tourist draw of the Redwood Skywalk and a cool new bear/coyote exhibit coming in. Plus there is a llama, alpaca, river otters, flamingos, birds, turtles. It's located in a charming city park that has a redwood path below the skywalk and a nice rose garden. Pricey at $24.99 for tourists but the bathrooms are clean so it's a good stop after driving.

Recommended.

This is such a charming place to visit, I just bought a membership pass so I can pop in for some smiles more often!

This is a small but very charming historic zoo in a fabulous forest setting. There is a lot of construction going on for a big new exhibit, but there are still plenty of other little nooks to explore. The Redwood Sky Walk itself is worth the price of admission just for the thrill of walking over the redwood forest from above.

Everyone is always smiling at this zoo, and especially the people working here. These are the friendliest, most welcoming people you'll ever meet!

This park is too good for Humboldt.

It is almost nice enough to become a destination location and the local casino is doling out the cash for the small favor of putting their name in letters larger than the zoo animals.

It is set in the burbs, so it gets a lot of families from the surrounding area. The trees and wildlife makes it surprisingly fantastic for a little country town.

The zoo is now towards the end of renovations. The tree walk (swinging lats from redwood to redwood) never gets old, always fun. The bear exhibit is near end. The fabricated water ways, set to attempt an Alaskan experience, look promising.

If it balloons they are going to need a lot more parking.

Well worth a visit.
